This Guidance Document provides companies with direction on implementing legitimate, bona fide training and education programs in a way that meets government expectations while ensuring HCPs receive the best, high-quality technical and educational information. In addition, the document expands on existing concepts in the AdvaMed Code (i.e., selecting speakers, identifying attendees, tracking details about programs, providing meals, selecting venue, etc.).
The Guidance Document was initially launched in 2022. It was updated in October 2024, to provide additional guidance related to OIG Advisory Opinion 22-14 on offering Continuing Education programs.
